NASA Excludes Deaf From Program

Adam Skwersky obtained all medical clearances required before he could undergo NASA’s KC-135 flight training. NASA however, would not allow Skwersky to start the training program citing the cost of providing interpreters during training classes. This news item was announced by DeafDigest in March with a note from its editor pointing out that its okay for NASA to spend billions of dollars for “NASA flights to the moon, Mars, Jupiter, etc – but not few thousand dollars more for interpreters!”
